Well, many people I've known who were soundtrack afficionados actually developed quite a keen sense of appreciation for the music completely divorced from its cinematic companion.
So maybe there IS hope for the capacity of the "untrained" listener to appreciate something that involves more than just I-IV-V (and the occassional secondary dominant).

In musical criticism, when issues of craft and technical consideration are set aside, what remains is more subjective. However, until technical issues are dealt with, the subjective portion bears considerably less weight.
